Chapter 52: Something to Say
When Zhou went back to the house, he saw Chi Yue, who was calm and seemed to be fine, but he gritted his teeth and stepped forward.
"Yue'er, my mother has something to discuss with you."
Chi Yue pretended to be curious, and raised her eyes to look at Zhou, "Mother, if there is something you can say." ”
Zhou sat opposite her, hesitated for a while, and then licked his lips and said, "You have passed the spring this year, and you are only twelve, where is the reason for a young child like you to save his own money?" Mother thought, it is better before you get married, your mother will help you save the money, so that you don't spend it indiscriminately, and if you meet a good family in the future, it will be used as a bride price, and all of it will be returned to you. ”
Chi Yue sneered in her heart, it seems that Qiao's brainwashing strategy with Grandma Chi is quite effective, if she hadn't heard their calculations with the past, I'm afraid that she would miss the mother-daughter friendship at this time, and she would have to agree to the next Zhou's.
"Mother, let me deposit all the money in the town's bank." Chi Yue said lightly, "It's not much, I'll hold the silver ticket by myself." ”
Zhou frowned and said, "Yue'er, is it possible that you can't trust your mother?" ”
"Mother, Yue'er can't trust you, but she can't trust those relatives who are more shrewd than foxes." Chi Yue pointed out, which made Zhou Shi couldn't help but be surprised, "If they know that the money is in your hands, maybe they will come up with some tricks, and they will do everything possible to get the money over." ”
Zhou was speechless, and suddenly felt that his thoughts, as well as the thoughts of others, were all seen through by Chi Yue.
After Chi Yue's mention, Zhou finally had a trace of consciousness from the confusion and chaos.
Yes, Qiao Shi and Grandma Chi tried their best to ask her to clean up Chi Yue this time, weren't they just with the intention of stealing money?
What they did in the past, where did they really think about her, and her children!
Thinking that he almost fell into their trap, Zhou was clever, and he was drenched in cold sweat.
"Mother, what's wrong with you?" Chi Yue pretended to be concerned, leaned over and asked with concern.
"No, nothing." Zhou Shise shrank for a moment, and couldn't help but say, "Yue'er, I heard that you offended the daughter of the county lord in the county seat, but is there really such a thing?" ”
Chi Yueyun was light, and continued to knock the melon seeds, "It's just that she lost to me on the polo field, so she was jealous, where did I deliberately offend others?" ”
Seeing that Chi Yue didn't take it to heart, Zhou became even more anxious, "We ordinary people, what are we doing when we go out to show this kind of limelight?" It's better to stay at home honestly, do a little business to make a living, and be content and happy! You, don't go out to town if you have nothing to do in the future, otherwise you will offend some big person, and my mother will be worried all day long, I'm afraid I will have to live less than ten or twenty years! ”
Zhou used bitter tricks to force Chi Yue to agree to himself, but Chi Yue just hummed and chirped and was perfunctory.
Seeing that Chi Yue was so disobedient to discipline, the Zhou family had always been weak, and he couldn't show the majesty of being a mother, so he sighed and went to work.
Since then, Chi Yue has hidden her heart. But when Zhou asked her for money, she first asked her to understand her purpose before she was willing to pay.
Seeing that his intimidation was ineffective, Qiao's forced Chi Yue not to give Zhou's money, which backfired on his expectations, and he really regretted it.
If she hadn't pressed her harder, maybe she wouldn't have been noticed by Chi Yue, wouldn't she be afraid of taking out a few taels of flowers from Zhou's little money?
Seeing that the more than a dozen taels of silver obtained by the Zhou family were sent to the Liu Ju family as a bride price, the two families took advantage of the New Year to give the marriage a given, and the other party promised to send their daughter at the beginning of spring next year.
The rest of the taels were all taken into Grandma Chi's pocket, Qiao didn't give it to her, Grandma Chi was going to shake her out of the matter of coaxing Zhou's family, Qiao was afraid that after Chi Yue knew, it would ruin her long-term plan, so she had to give in to her mother-in-law, but she also had nothing to do and asked her mother-in-law for money, which made Grandma Chi so upset.
Qiao's side patrolled Chi Yue every day, and he didn't see Gu Han for many days, so he turned his mind and urged Boss Chi to go to the city to inquire.
Hearing that Gu Han had left Baihua County and returned to the capital, Qiao's heart was overjoyed, and his heart was about to move.
Chi Yue has always relied on the support of this mysterious Gu Gongzi, so that no one such as the old mansion or the former village chief dared to make a mistake to her, and at this time, without Gu Han's protection, I saw that she could not take care of this little girl who didn't know how thick the sky was!
Originally, Qiao's wanted to take Grandpa Chi to Chi Yue's house together, but Grandpa Chi refused to go, and asked Grandma Chi to scold him for a day and a night, but Grandpa Chi just pretended to be asleep on the kang and turned a deaf ear.
"You dead old man, the eldest daughter-in-law wants to ask you for a pension, so that you can have no worries about food and clothing in your old age, you can be good, Lafayette who doesn't do his own business is here, so he has no conscience!" Grandma Chi said ruthlessly, "I have been married to you for a lifetime, and I have suffered for a lifetime, and I have not been left to enjoy Qingfu with you in my old age." Now I have to listen to my eldest daughter-in-law, and I will have to pay all the pensions for the rest of my life, eat and drink spicy food, and enjoy a few years of happiness! ”
"If you don't have a face, just ask for it!" Grandpa Chi faced the wall and muttered indignantly.
"What is face? Can the face be eaten as a meal? Grandma Chi poked Grandpa Chi's head with a finger, and said hatefully, "I have no face, I'll just ask for it, what do you do with me?" Hmph, those who don't have the money will let these rabbit cubs squander it, and when that time comes, if you want to come over for a while, there will be nowhere to go! ”
Grandma Chi was like a creditor collecting debts, and she came to find Chi Yue with Qiao's one after the other.
In the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve, before evening, the Chiyue family wrapped the cabbage meat stuffed dumplings and were about to put them in the pot.
The happy atmosphere was instantly destroyed by these two fierce gods, and Chi Yue frowned dissatisfiedly.
"Chi Yue, seeing that the Chinese New Year is over, and you don't use the money you earn to be filial to your lord and me, do you still have us elders in your eyes?" Grandma Chi pinched her waist and scolded angrily, "Whether your conscience was gnawed by a dog, or was bitten by a wolf, the wolf's heart and dog's lungs are not afraid to ask the villagers to poke your backbone!" Your family is really shameless and shameless! ”
was humiliated by Grandma Chi, Zhou's eyes turned red, and he couldn't help but defend himself, "Mother, I brought you a lot of things, why do you still say this about us?" Daughter-in-law, daughter-in-law really doesn't know what to do in order to make you look at us more pleasing to the eye! ”
Grandma Chi scoffed, "Hmph, what you brought is obviously just a grain of sand in your pocket, you take out sesame seeds to fill watermelon and fool us fools?" ”
Seeing that Grandma Chi was so dissatisfied, Zhou didn't know what to do, bit his lip, and had nowhere to tell his grievances.
In the face of Grandma Chi's aggressiveness, Chi Yue was not shocked and sneered, "I want to give you all the money I earn, but I'm afraid that after giving it to you, you don't know how to spend it, and you waste it." ”
Hearing this, Qiao Shi hurriedly said, "How can we waste it? We're adults, so we spend more money than you juniors who don't know anything about the world. ”
"Then give you a hundred taels, how will you spend it?" Chi Yue asked lightly.
"One hundred taels?" When Qiao Shi and Grandma Chi heard this number, they were stunned on the spot, and their minds were blindfolded.
With a hundred taels in their hands, they really don't know how to spend it!
"With one hundred taels, we, let's build a new house, and save the rest!" In the end, Qiao Shi stubbornly said, "In the future, there will be many children and grandchildren, and there will always be land to be found." ”
"If you don't put it in circulation, it's a waste in my opinion." Chi Yue raised her eyebrows, "In my place, it can be circulated in the market to do business, and the business will become bigger and bigger, and the money will be more and more, so that it can be used to the fullest." ”
"If you lose money in business, isn't it also a waste?" Qiao's neck shouted, "Maybe you can still lose money, but you can't afford to smash the pot and sell iron!" ”
"That's what you guys who don't know how to do business are afraid of, and in my opinion, there's no such possibility." Chi Yue said confidently and did not give the other party a gap in doubt.
Grandma Chi snorted coldly, spat on a mouthful, and got back to business, "We came this time, and we won't ink with you." I want to come to your aunt and I to look for you, and you are also annoyed. At this time, at the end of the year, let's make a decision, how about it? ”
Hearing that Grandma Chi had made a break with their family, Zhou was stunned.
In her opinion, Grandma Chi and Qiao's are sticky skin worms, and they can't get rid of it, so why are they taking the initiative to cut off this difficult relationship now?
Chi Yue didn't think so.
Since Grandma Chi said this, the conditions proposed should be considered by others.
Sure enough, Qiao's also came up with a hippie smile and said the condition, "Chi Yue, your grandfather discussed with your grandmother, saying that if you give them a pension of one hundred taels at once and let them spend their old age in peace, then the old mansion will no longer come to bother you, and if something happens, I will also clean up with you, how about it?" ”
The last sentence is naturally a good thing that Chi Yue's family wants to burn incense and worship Buddha, who doesn't want to be quiet, who wants to be asked for debts from time to time, and scolded for being disobedient and unfilial and has no conscience?
If the relationship with the old house is really cleared, their family can really live a happy and happy life.
It's just that a hundred taels of pension is too much!
Ordinary people pay homage to the elderly, and they only count two taels of silver every year. An old couple who are about to enter the wood, but they have twenty or thirty years of life, and they may not be able to enjoy even ten years of happiness, fifty taels of silver and can't be used up, isn't the rest of it a matter of course to go into the pockets of their only son now, Boss Chi?
All this is clear in Chi Yue's eyes.
"One hundred taels, no." Chi Yue was stunned word by word, and said categorically, "I can't take out fifty taels, there are only ten taels here, if I can exchange it for a contract, I am willing to give it to you." ”
As she spoke, she took out a silver ticket worth ten taels of silver from her bosom and showed it to Grandma Chi and Qiao's from afar.
When Grandma Chi saw the ten taels of silver tickets, her eyes straightened.
Ten taels of silver is enough for them to buy a lot of food and clothes!
Qiao's last time from Zhou's asked for the ten taels, seeing that he gave someone a bride price, he only got three or four taels, and it was always a matter of awkwardness in his heart, and now he has to get these ten taels no matter what!
When the time comes, she will hold on tightly, and no one will be able to ask for it!
Thinking about this, his legs and feet involuntarily stepped forward.
Qiao Shi was calmer than her, and pulled Grandma Chi back.
"Mother, are you confused?" Qiao Shi hurriedly shouted, "Ten taels of silver is enough for you to spend a year?" Chi Yue is cursing you and your father, saying that you won't survive next year! ”
Hearing this, Grandma Chi was furious on the spot, "Okay, you cheap hooves, you dare to curse us?" I'll give you ten taels of silver, and if you don't give us a hundred taels of silver, we won't leave this house!" ”
Chi Yue frowned, these two scoundrels actually gave her this trick of occupying the magpie's nest and disturbing people's purity!
Zhou walked up to Chi Yue's side and whispered, "Yue'er, I think it's better to give them fifty taels, right?" Fifty taels, you can always get it, and it can be regarded as the end of a troublesome matter. ”
Taking money to eliminate disasters is probably the only solution now.
